Greg, where did you get these from because these are not all from NBC nor the olympics, Julian Dicks is a British soccer player (retired now I believ) and Britain have not fielded a soccer team at the olympics since before Julian Dicks was born(tho' I've heard the quote before).

Sid Waddell the darts commentator has come up with a few classics:

"That's the greatest comeback since Lazarus."

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer. Bristow's only 27."

"It's the nearest thing to public execution this side of Saudi Arabia."

You couldn't get more excitement here if Elvis Presley walked in eating a chip sandwich!"

"Trying to read Reyes's mind is like trying to read the mind of Jabba the Hutt"

"These guys look calm but inside they are as nervous as a vampire who knows there's a sale at the wooden stake shop in the morning

"It's just like taking a sausage from a boy in a wheelchair."

It is sad when people get excited over darts. I could actually imagine this guy sitting in the commentators booth getting really worked up and spouting such trite!

Actually, I imagine if you're a sports commentator and got stuck with the darts competition as your assignment, you'd probably have a lot of time to come up with those sorts of comments trying to say anything to fill dead air and make it sound interesting. Besides, darts just shouldn't be an olympic sport. It's meant to be played in a bar/pub with a beer in one hand. Then again, I've never fully seen the wisdom to handing drunken people sharp pointy things to throw around in a crowded room.
